      Id love to see a video on the actor who played Wesley in the Princess Bride, I just adore him in everything hes in.
      Seconding the request for So I Married an Axe Murderer as well. And...maybe to tossing in Earth Girls are Easy for consideration.
      I also found Natutal Born Killers to be a hilarious movie. I cant even tell if its intentionally so, it's just so meta and good.

      This is easily one of my favorite movies as a kid. I was born the year this came out but my dad showed it to me and I feel like it’s one comedy that is excellent at having funny stuff for kids and adults which can be hard to find that balance and do it so well. Apart from Martin Shirt playing as Jerry Lewis some skits. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen him in. Secondly, you gotta do So I Married an Axe Murderer! Another underrated comedy gold mine from Mike Myers!

I showed it to my wife when we first started dating and she immediately fell in love with Charles Grodin. Severely underrated actor. No one can convey distain better. Midnight Run, Taking Care Of Business, and his cameo in So...I Married An Axe Murderer are some of my favourite "almost classics". I would love to see a in depth look at his career from your point of view. I am loving your videos. You are disecting and presenting the memories of my childhood hero's and you are giving them the gravitas they deserve. You are nailing tone so well. Please keep making more.

      I love this love for Chuck Grodin. In addition to the films you've mentioned, he's probably the greatest late night talk show guest in the history of the medium. Check out a few clips of him on Carson to see how he delightfully baffled audience members in the same way Clifford did. Also of remarkable note is how ageless the man is, he was 32 when Rosemary's Baby was filmed, 37 when The Heartbreak Kid was filmed, 54 when Clifford was filmed, and 57 and 58 when Beethoven 1 and 2 came out and he looks the same in each movie. (Note: he's also the best part of the TV show 'Louie' whether he's playing the titular character's neighbor or doctor). The man is gifted.

      He made great movies like Nine to Five, On Golden Pond and Tootsie, then he did some bad ones like Clifford.

    I absolutely love these videos. Clifford is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Short absolutely nails this role and his mannerisms are absolutely hilarious!

    So happy that someone did a retrospective on 'Clifford'. I was so confused the first time I saw this one, but enjoyed it more each time I watched it. A few years ago, it was streaming and I just had to show it to my wife. She also assumed it would be about a big red dog.

    If you think of it more as a loosely connected series of skits between the two main actor and the woman as s sub-plot, it's hilarious. As a complete movie, it' was a bit too weird for my younger self. The "real life human boy" scene is infinitely hilarious!

    Well played. This flick is a gem and indeed worthy of this series. My bestie and I used to laugh endlessly at this one. The Tabasco scene remains a running joke.

    fantastic video. loved it. As an uncle to a 12 year old boy. short played Clifford like the real deal. Their attention span is shorted than squirrels and birds.
    I often watch old movies from the 80's and 90's with him. movies i tell him i was when i was round his age.
    This is gonna be our next movie. lol

  • @christiangomez320
    @christiangomez320 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Hats Off! I remember watching this a few times when it came on TV. I never really understood the gimmick of the movie as a kid. I just remember the funny payback scenes between Clifford and his uncle. I also remember Clifford being played by Rick Moranis. I guess that happens when the whole movie feels like a dream. Will definitely re-watch.

  • @RubberChickenFilms

    Just wanted to say I've been watching some of your videos, and enjoying them. You have great taste--Laurel & Hardy, Three Stooges, etc. and these almost cult classics. Glad someone else likes some of these offbeat movies as much as I do :)

  • @robertmccauley754

    This is one of my earliest childhood movie memories. When that wild orchestrated intro with the crazy artwork depicting Clifford's adventures started up, I used to yell upstairs to my brother to come down and run/jump/dance all over the basement. Still one of my favorites to go back to especially when somebody hasn't seen it before.

    When "Clifford" was in the theaters, I paid no attention because I thought it was about the cartoon giant dog.
    About 10 years ago, a friend got me to watch it. It became one of my favorites.
    Such an odd, hilarious, & touching movie! I puzzle over how it ever got green lighted from the studio.

  • @supermetroid009

    I grew up with this film too lmfao love Charles grodin in this cause of how at first he legitimately tries to like Clifford until he finds out how petty and insane he is🤣🤣🤣
